Most medical students do no reading during

all the more difficult Such idleness during
vacation is, in many eases, essential to health,
owing to the student having become tagged
out by injudiciousiy hard work during the
winter. Bat such results can be avoided in
most cases by the adoption of a regular plan
and method Of studying such as the writer is

The nuts were slowed loose in the hold OF
the vessel, with nothing to keep them from
shifting in case the steamer got II heavy

said:

half of them come from Baracoa. San Bias

steamers are driving the schooners out of the
business, although the heat OF the engine
rooms is detrimental to the nuts. Six years
ago there was not a single steamer in the
Baracoa trade. In 1881 there were 81
schooner cargoes brought here from Baracoa
In 1882 there were five steamer cargoes
brought-all American. The schooner car
goes rose to 221 in 1883, besides If Yankee
steamer cargOes. The next year the British
tramp entered the trade and in two years cut

of steam tramp carGoes rose to -. -..e Yam
kee steamers barely held their own with l6
cargoes, 1t is a case of the survival of tho
fittest. The fact is, the steamers, although
flying the British flag, are in great part
owned by American capital. CocoanutS at
Baracoa cost two cents each, delivered on
board the steamer free. There is very little

A lit lead colored steamer, drawing no
more than nine feet of water when loaded
lay at pier near Coenties slip. People
familiar with shipping would have said at o.
glance that she was in the fruit or some such
trade to the Spanish main on account of her
size and looks. a gang of men were lifting
bushei baskets full of cocoanuts over The low
hatch combing anidships and sliding them
along greasy planks toward another gang of
men on the pier. These men lifted the bas-
kets up on to the low tables made Of planks
laid on top Of cheap barrels. Three baskets
could be accommodated at one time on each
of the two tables. A man before each basket
picked the nuts up, one in each hand. and
Knocked them together lightly, and then
either tossed them into a big coarse bag
which man held open before the table or
tossed them 10 heap on the pier
those thrown to the pier were spoiled more
or less, some OF them being so far decayed as
to break open. Those thrown into the bags
were sound. The light tap told the quality Of
the nus to the Inspector. Each bag held 100,
and soon rs filed it was drawn to one side and
had Its mouth sewed Up by man who used
a needle nine inches long and soft iute twine

nuts into bags and loaded them into "A COW

Wire Fence Doomed.

A man in Stratford, Ont Canada,
has invented method of advertising
on wire fences by cutting letters out
of tin and hanging them to the wire by
hooks. That settles it y For years
travellers in this country have been
disguised by seeing trees, rocks. walls,
fences, buildings, and all prominent
features of the natural scenery, such as
cataracts, caves and mountain peaks,
daubed by the brush OF the medicine
man and they have drawn breath
of relief when they passed a stretch
of wire fence, where they could rest
their eyes by looking at the growing
crops. But to this transient pleasure
we must say good-by, if wire fences are
to be outraged with rusty tin symbols
to call to mind all possible diseases OF
the human race. with the dangerous
aud nauseating connections prescribed
for their cure.

Juvenile Bank Accounts.

How am / to provide bank ac-
coun, for my children, when ! have 50
scanty "a one of my own? | hear some
fond parents exclaim. By teaching
your children 10 earn money. OF
course it is not always possible for
them to save it when earned; that is,
there are cases where 1t must be APP
piled to meet the necessities Of llfe Il
once. Children can not begin too early
II earn little money. aud there are an
infinite number Of ways in which they
can gain few cents, giving them an
inexpressible feeling OF pride and OWN
ership in having something that is
truly their own. 1t will serve as an
incentive u greater industry, and the
habit. they will thus acquire will be of
vastly more benefit than the money
they save.
One of my own boys in early child
mood evinced strong propensity TO
extravaganza, and although our means
were not such As TO permit any great
and foolish outlay OF small coins by
the lad, still he managed to spend, in
the most trifing way, all the cents and
dimes given him by fond grandparents
and uncles. One Christmas | gave
him bright tin-bank, promising him
five cents for every half dollar he ac-
cunulated. When his savings had
reached the sum of S. (and they were
long in SO doing. ! put the sum in a
savings bank, giving him bank book
of his own. From that time | noticed
a decided change in his character. He
never became misery, but grew up an
earnest, prudent boy, soon devising
ways and means of adding to his little
store. Ifyour children are obliged to
perform such duties as cutting wood,
screening ashes, and the like, they will
have more energy and ambition if you
pay them few cents per week, or bet
ter still, let them work by contract. "
